Handcrafted Turtle Item of the Week

Check out this Turtle Power Necklace and other original hand sculpted polymer clay necklaces on Etsy.  I love the devious look on this little dude's face.  I think it's part ninja, part gangster.  Either way, it was cool enough to win the title of Etsy Item of the Week here on Pokey's Pals.

Surfer Jamie O'Brien's Wild Ride

I feel a bit bad for pro surfer Jamie O'Brien right now. There is a picture circulating the internet that shows him riding a sea turtle. You might be wondering why people would care? Well, it is against the law. We don't want endangered species getting overly comfortable interacting with humans. I guess that is because, inevitably, someone would harm the animal. However, given the opportunity, I'm not sure I would be able to resist reaching out to touch a creature as magical as the green sea turtle. Scientists get to do it all the time.

Suing for Turtle Protection

Wildlife Groups are Suing for More Protection of Turtles. I'm sad that there are likely poor shrimpers out there who can't afford the desired changes, but sometimes you just have to raise prices to cover necessary costs. I have to vote for the sea turtles this time. Sorry shrimpers.
